Unfortunately the first patch is ARM-specific so I probably should not
put it there (maybe this is just a minor issue, I'm not sure). I have
not done patches to enable fdt in all architectures so far and I'm not
sure this is wanted / required. I will move the README up one patch to
the first non-ARM-specific patch.

Simon
